"Niangniang, you can ask Concubine Ji to speak for you, but according to the slave maid, the emperor will probably not agree." Yao Er was pulled over by the witty words, saying that Concubine Ling had something to discuss with her, and after listening to Concubine Ling's plan, Yao Er shook her head and said.

"Why is that? As a concubine, can't this palace raise a noble child?" Concubine Ling's face was a little unhappy when she heard this, after all, she was used to being flattered: "Although the noble family's house is good, how can it be compared with this palace?"

It is precisely because of your family's great business that the emperor can't agree, Yao Er said secretly, the reason why the concubine's family is in a high position and is valued by the emperor is because the Burhaqi family is a rookie who gradually emerged after helping the emperor ascend the throne, and it is the right-hand man who was cultivated by the emperor's trust.

Although she didn't agree with Yao Er's opinion, Yao Er's previous ideas were all good, and Concubine Ling did not continue to embarrass her, but asked the witty words to inform Concubine Ji: "Yao'er, last time I made a mistake, I couldn't get rid of Concubine Yun's child, so if she gives birth to a healthy prince, you can think of ideas for this palace again." ”

"Concubine Yun has a lot of eyes, and you don't know that Jingyang Palace is strictly guarding against you, if you want to attack the fifth elder brother, you have to plan carefully, and you can't act rashly."

"Bengong understands, that's why he didn't rush to do it." Concubine Ling also knew that it would not be easy to get rid of the child when she was born, just by looking at Concubine Jiang, she knew: "Ming'er is the beginning of spring, the emperor has always looked at the solar terms, go and ask Sui'er to find good jewelry for the palace to go to the state banquet, you should also be careful, don't fall into the face of the palace." ”

"Rest assured, the new head noodles created by the famous craftsmen outside the palace have been delivered, which is extremely exquisite and luxurious, and it is in line with the temperament of the mother at a glance."

The practice of the beginning of spring is to hold a state banquet, whether it is in the market or in the palace, are prepared very grand, in addition to celebrating, but also to hope that the country of Daqi in the new year will be smooth and abundant, there is an auspicious omen.

In addition to the palace concubines to participate, there are some royal relatives, there are many officials and ministers with relatives to participate in the banquet, the emperor this year to allow officials below the fifth grade can also enter the palace to participate in the festival banquet, for a time, people bustling into the seat, there is an illusion of a downtown area.

Hua Ying finally plans to dress up here for a day, in addition to the draft and the last annual banquet, this is her most attentive moment, not only because this banquet is important, but also because her family will come back when the time comes, and when she sees her beautiful clothes, she knows that her life in the palace will not be too bad.

After Lan Yu helped Hua Ying paint a beautiful and generous makeup, she carefully took out the extremely valuable pigeon blood ruby and gold silk that the emperor rewarded last time, and a ruyi hairpin and a pair of plum blossom hairpins as decorations, all of which were carefully inserted on Hua Ying's flag head, and helped Hua Ying put on auspicious clothes, with an agate jade bracelet on her slender wrist, and she couldn't help nodding on the side.

"It's rare to see a lady dressed up so rich, and I'm happy when I look at it." Qingxu knew that Hua Ying generally didn't like to dress up like this, but who didn't like good-looking jewelry, plus Hua Ying was already a concubine, and she was enough to afford this outfit, which showed the rich demeanor of the heavenly family.

"Okay, let's not do this." Hua Ying glanced at the mirror twice, it was good-looking, but if she saw too much, she would get tired, this is what she thought in her heart, the more unadorned she usually is, the more eye-catching she will be when she comes out like this: "Let's go, it's not too late for such a moment." ”

"The sedan chair has been waiting outside for a long time, and the slave helped the master up."

Accompanied by bursts of drum music, when Hua Ying's sedan chair was about to arrive at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, she happened to bump into Concubine Ling's sedan chair, because it was a concubine, so Concubine Ling's sedan chair was higher than Hua Ying, and at this moment she glanced at Hua Ying condescendingly: "Concubine Yun is dressed up with intentions, but I don't know if the emperor will have time to look at you twice." ”

"Concubine Ling, Niangniang Jin'an." Hua Ying saw Concubine Ling wearing a gorgeous gem on her head, and knew that she was afraid that she would steal her limelight, "Today is a good day, don't you dress up and be rich, don't you make others think that our royal shabby has no jewelry to wear?"

"Concubine Yun has always been able to speak." Concubine Ling's face was the same as before, but she had no intention of giving way.

"Niangniang, on a day like today, it would not be good if the hour was delayed, and I asked Concubine Ling to take the first step, and the concubine followed behind Niangniang." Hua Ying naturally had no interest and couldn't compete with Concubine Ling, and consciously gave way, but Concubine Ling didn't intend to simply let her go.

"Since Concubine Yun knows that today's matter is very important, don't fight with the palace for this road, why don't you get off the sedan chair and walk in with the palace?"

Hearing this, Qingxu on the side suddenly had an ugly face, and asked Hua Ying to get off the sedan chair and walk next to Concubine Ling's sedan chair, isn't it no different from these servants who serve people? This is a clear insult to Hua Ying, but she knows that she can't say anything at this time, even if she helps Hua Ying speak in this case, if Concubine Ling is angry, she will still cause trouble for Hua Ying.

Hui wanted to speak, but was stopped by Qingxu with her eyes, how to solve this matter can only depend on how Hua Ying responds.

"Concubine Ling Niangniang forgives her sins, and the concubine is afraid that she will not be able to enter the Qianqing Palace with Niangniang."

As if she had expected Hua Ying to say this, Concubine Ling's armored hand casually fiddled with the tassel in her ear: "Yun Concubine means that she doesn't look down on this palace and doesn't want to enter with this palace?"

"Niangniang's demeanor is thousands, and the concubine is still behind the concubine, otherwise everyone will see the concubine and the concubine." There were people coming and going at the door, and Hua Ying had to compliment her with a good voice.

"It's okay, Concubine Yun's sister has an outstanding appearance, and she will definitely not be covered by this palace."

Seeing Concubine Ling like this, Hua Ying was also provoked into two points of anger, Concubine Ling was used to being domineering, I don't know what time it was today, she told Concubine Ling: "Niangniang, there are many guests today, all of them are royal relatives with heads and faces, Niangniang's family and the concubine's family are also there, Niangniang's behavior has left the concubine's face is small, if the two families see it, I am afraid it will damage the harmony." ”

"You dare to threaten Hongu?" Concubine Ling's eyes widened angrily, she was indeed narrow-minded, and when she was provoked, joy, anger and sorrow appeared on her face.

"Niangniang," the witty words on the side saw that Concubine Ling was at a loss, so he said: "The banquet is about to start, let's go first." ”

Concubine Ling calmed down, and before leaving, she didn't forget to throw down a sentence: "Okay, you concubine, don't rely on your family to show off your power in front of the palace, you are not qualified enough." ”

"Congratulations to Concubine Ling." It's not something you can say whether you're qualified or not, Hua Ying also feels a lot more happy when she scolds her, and she is always fed up with Concubine Ling's anger these days, so she pretended to be happy with Hui Xin: "Let's follow Sister Concubine Ling well, lest Sister Concubine Ling accidentally fall and no one will cover her." ”

Concubine Ling naturally heard Hua Ying's words cursing herself, or did she resist the thought of going back and teaching Hua Ying a lesson.

Hua Ying had just entered the banquet, and saw her eldest brother and second brother, standing next to the banquet at the moment, Hua Ying's eyes were a little sour, don't look away, she wanted to find her father and mother, and the other brothers were not able to enter the palace if they did not reach the fifth rank.

Finally saw the clothes of her mother's wife from a first-class foreign life, obviously Fang Jiashi also saw her daughter, and pulled her father to look at it too, Hua Ying smiled and nodded, indicating that she was fine.

Fang Jiashi saw that she was dressed extraordinarily, and knew that the emperor must be pampered, and then thought that Hua Ying was already a concubine with a dragon son, and she would not fall out of favor easily, and she also let go of her heart, just waiting for the emperor to send a congratulatory gift, and she couldn't lose her daughter's face.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

The Queen Mother also came, and the people were basically there, and Gonggong Li asked the emperor, and seeing that the latter did not speak, he knew that it was time, so he asked the dancer to start performing on stage.

The Queen Mother looked at the harem concubines, glanced at Hua Ying at a glance, and nodded in agreement: "Concubine Yun feels comfortable when she looks at the mourning family today." ”

"What the queen mother said is that I think so too." Seeing that the things he rewarded were brought to Hua Ying's head, he really made the best use of them, and after this sentence, many people's eyes also focused on Hua Ying.

"Yun Concubine Niangniang is really luxurious, and the emperor is so blessed." It was Prince Li who spoke again, and Prince Li also praised Hua Ying last time, and it seems that she is a good match.

Hua Ying smiled restrainedly: "Thank you Prince Li for your praise, the concubine is ashamed." Fu Jin, who was beside Prince Li, nodded to show his favor.

Seeing that Hua Ying was out of the limelight, the queen's eyes were obscure, but she didn't show anything, but instead raised her glass: "The concubine respects the emperor with a glass, and I wish the emperor good luck every year, and Daqi is prosperous." ”

The emperor naturally did not give face to the queen, and also took the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, and the other concubines also toasted one after another, at this time, the eldest brother also got up to salute his father: "I wish the emperor Ama good health, and may the world be stable and peaceful!"
